The search warrants were the result of investigations into persistent and rampant drug activity at both addresses, said John Fesmire, public information officer for the La Vergne Police Department.

“Since 2011, each home and the respective residents have been investigated and raided at least twice each with 129 Fisk Drive having been raided just as recently as the second of this month,” he said.

Arrested in the Thursday night raid were Aaron Shannon and Viven Shannon. Both Shannons face charges of selling schedules II, IV and VI narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for the purpose of selling narcotics. The charges stemming from the March 2 arrest were possession of a schedule II narcotic, criminal conspiracy to distribute a schedule II narcotic, possession of paraphernalia and an additional charge of destruction of evidence for Mr. Shannon.

“Historically, the raids at these addresses have produced hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, Xanax, fentanyl, dilaudid, soma and marijuana, as well as firearms, drug paraphernalia and drug-generated cash,” Fesmire said. “There have also been multiple arrests of drug clients coming from these homes with the offenses including DUIs, weapons offenses, drug offenses, driving offenses, active warrants and police pursuits."

At the time of Thursday’s raids, children ages 3, 8 and 11 were present at 126 Fisk Drive. They were released to family members, Fesmire told The Daily News Journal.
